Snakes are not usually shiny, at least not BPs. (not counting those species with iridescence) But their colors look deeper, brighter & clearer, not dull as in shed.
You also need to check after a snake sheds to be sure their old eye-caps and tail tip came off in the shed. Especially keeping a BP, because they're prone to stuck eye-caps (& they cause problems like future loss of sight if ignored), and they can lose their tail tips to gangrene (death of tissue) after only one or a few missed sheds remaining.
Check a snake after every shed...it's your job as a keeper. Snakes are low-maintenance pets, not "no-maintenance" pets!
